Where There is a Veil…….


By: Nisaar Y. Nadiadwala

Jim Nelson has written a book ‘ When Nations Die’. He points out  an important common rule for the fall of nations ..the abandonment of religion…… What ever little moral lessons the western Democracies have in their Bible they are also discarded. The two biggest examples are: 1. Belief in one God   2.Modesty.   This is the beginning of the down of the great Western Civilization.


Can you guess how foolish are their intellectual arguments to ban the face veil? The refutation comes from the Non Muslims themselves and that too on street corners. Here is one of them “Why has France banned Face veil?” .. Because they find that it is unhealthy for the Muslim women wearing it”… Oh then they should ban even high heels shoes and sandals too as they are more injurious to the entire women of France….They should ban lipsticks and many other cosmetics because they contain lead , which is harmful for the skin and it is applied by most of the French women…. Ah they are manufactured by Multi national companies so they cannot be banned… Ah I wish that Addidas and Reebok should also come out with face veil and make it a brand product !!!.


When I was a young boy of 6 years, I used to accompany my maternal grandmother to sell milk. There was this 70 years old lady who used to buy milk. Every time I used to enter her shop, she used to draw a “Ghungat” ( face veil  of a kind) and cover her face. One day out of curiosity I asked my grand ma “why is this lady always hiding her face from me?” She replied “ It is very natural of a woman to be modest  and be shy in the presence of a Non Mahram”. I asked “ Grand ma, she is  too old and I am a young boy!”  “So what?” My grand ma replied “She has been covering her face for past 60 years so even when she is old she has that natural bashfulness in her that Allah gave her…..” That was a memorable answer. By the way that lady was a Hindu Brahmin.


The modesty of women is among those cultural similarities which different civilizations have enjoyed except that when they tore of that modesty, their down fall speeded up. Robert Stonebraker, from Winthrop university writes “Among the women under twenty years of age, 70 percent of all births are to single mothers……”  Prior to the 1960’s most women in the West refused to engage in pre marital sex without an explicit or implicit promise of marriage in the event of pregnancy. Today they go in premarital sex with an explicit promise of not getting married… The mentality of western women has been changed due to the changing job opportunities in the West. The economy has shifted from muscle power to brain power so women are finding a lot of jobs and along with money comes a super confident or illusion that they can bring up their children on their own without burying themselves in the matrimonial life.


Have you noticed how gradually the western women has been cheated by male dominating western society?. Yesterday it was with abortion. Now the debate over banning abortion is dead , Today  the  radical liberation can hit any Priest of  Roman Catholic who opposes same sex marriages. He will be  disowned by the so called vanguards of freedom of speech. Marriage life has stiff competition from gay marriages, lesbian marriages, live in relations……And this is nicely  wrapped like a gift and awarded to the women with the label of ‘women’s liberation’
